A sceptre of this nature is rare due to the sheer size of the boulder required to carve it. The ruyi sceptre, a longstanding auspicious symbol in Chinese art gained popularity in the Qing dynasty when it was often used as a gift to the Emperor on his birthday. Compare to a large white jade ruyi of similar size, also dating to the Qianlong period, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30 May 2012, lot 4115.
